[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9215425, member: 23751"] No I'm not. I'm describing the language using a normal word for that language, but which includes the mystic syllable, which along with the other syllables and perhaps the other two components, trigger magic. The sentence could be, "The button is loose." with the mystic syllables being "he," "bu," and "oo." The sounds don't have to be put together to form a complex word or any word. Or they can be a single word that isn't in the caster's language, "Hebuoo." as a "magical word." Which, AGAIN, isn't relevant at all to what I'm saying. I don't understand why you keep trying to shove me into something that I'm not saying and am nowhere near. There can be a shared language, unshared language or even no language and just have sounds. Again, NOT RELEVANT. By RAW they can. They may not know what spell is being cast, but they will in fact recognize the mystical sounds when they hear them and know a spell is being cast. If you option in the Xanathar's rule, they can even make an arcana check to know what spell is being cast as it is being cast, which applies even if the caster and arcana user share no languages.
